Quick Answer

The benefits of relationships between grandmothers and granddaughters include a greater sense of well-being and a reduced chance of behavioral and emotional problems for the child. Increased involvement of grandparents in a child's life is typically beneficial for both parties.

It has been suggested by Professor Ann Buchanan of Oxford University that close relationships between grandparents and grandchildren can also contribute to a reduced feeling of difficulty when familial adjustments are made, particularly in cases of divorce or separation. This is especially true when the child is an adolescent, thus a relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter is encouraged from an early age to ensure a strong bond between the two.
